STUDENT DIRECTORY

State and Federal Regulations require school districts to have a policy on student directory information. Student directory information is designed for use internally within the school district. It may include the student’s name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees, honors and awards received, dates of attendance at this district, the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended by the student, photograph and other likeness, and other similar information.

State and Federal Law requires the District, prior to developing a student directory or to giving general information to the public, to provide notice annually of the intent to develop a directory or to give out general information and give parents the opportunity to deny the inclusion of their child’s information in the directory or in the general information about the students. Parents may send a letter to the school requesting the District not release any directory information of their child(ren) or request a form from the District that just needs a signature. Sending a letter or signing the school’s document means that a student’s name will not appear in athletic programs, music programs, school annual, newspaper articles, etc.

Also, the district is required, State and Federal Law, to supply class lists including name, address and phone number to college and military recruiters upon their request. Parents also have the opportunity to deny the inclusion of their child’s information in class lists requested by college or military recruiters. Parents may send a letter to the school requesting the District not release any directory information of their child(ren) to college and military recruiters or request a form from the District that just needs a signature.

Please call the District Office 402-761-3321 if you have questions.

HOT LUNCH PROGRAM

The school lunch program is continuing with the computerized lunch card system in 2017-2018. All families have a separate account in which funds are deposited and drawn from by the students of that family. Checks for lunches may be sent to the office of the Elementary School or the Jr/Sr High School, or go to www.milfordpublicschools.org to pay online. Only one check per family is required to cover lunches for all students in the family regardless of where they eat lunch. Keeping tabs on your family lunch account balance can be done by calling the office at 761-2408 or checking our website www.milfordpublicschools.org. If you do not have your family ID and PIN, contact the office for that information.

Watch for menus in the MILFORD TIMES and on our website at www.milfordpublicschools.org

Free and reduced lunch applications are available in the principals’ offices at both buildings and also on our website under the lunch program tab. Lunch applications expire, so you have to fill out an application for the 2017-2018 school year. If you have questions relating to the program, please call Tracy Yeackley at the Milford Elementary School after August 3, 2017 at 402-761-2408.
